Flavobacterium limicola strain DSM 15094

Flavobacterium limicola strain DSM 15094 is a psychrophilic, aerobic bacterium characterized by its rod-shaped morphology and the presence of flagella, which facilitates motility in its aquatic environment. This strain thrives in freshwater habitats, underscoring its ecological specialization in cold, nutrient-rich environments. The strain possesses a single replicon, indicating a streamlined genomic structure that may contribute to its adaptability in fluctuating freshwater conditions. The accession number for this strain is RBXA00000000.1, providing a reference point for further genomic studies and comparisons with related bacterial species. The psychrophilic nature of Flavobacterium limicola suggests that it plays a significant role in the biogeochemical processes of cold freshwater ecosystems. As a member of the Flavobacteriaceae family, it may contribute to the decomposition of organic materials and the cycling of nutrients, which are essential for maintaining the ecological balance in its habitat. The ability to thrive in low-temperature environments allows this strain to occupy a niche that may be less competitive, thus highlighting its importance in cold freshwater microbial communities.
